Korea’s royal books, looted by the French navy in the late 19th century and kept by the National Library of France until recently, will be returning to their home country Thursday, the government said.

The 297 books of “Uigwe,” or manuscripts for royal protocols created during the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), will be delivered to the National Museum of Korea in four separate air transports. The first 75 books will arrive at Incheon International Airport at 2 p.m. on Thursday, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism said. The return of the 297 volumes will be completed by May 27.

On Thursday afternoon at 3:30 p.m., Culture Minister Choung Myoung-gug will hold a press conference on the return of Uigwe from France.

The return of the royal books came as Korea’s President Lee Myung-bak reached an agreement with his French counterpart Nicholas Sarkozy to return them to Korea in a series of bilateral talks on the sidelines of the G20 Seoul Summit on Nov. 12.

After the two leaders’ agreement, Park Heung-shin, Korean Ambassador to France, and Paul Jean-Ortiz, Asia director for the French Ministry for Foreign Affairs, announced a follow-up joint statement on Feb. 7 to return all the volumes France took in 1866.

Later on March 16, the National Museum of Korea and the National Library of France agreed on the details of the return of the royal books.

After the return of Uigwe is completed in May, the National Museum of Korea plans to hold a special exhibition to showcase some of the returned royal books from July 19 to Sept. 18, a ministry official said.

The 297 books were created in the 17th and 18th centuries and stored in Oegyujanggak, an annex of Gyujanggak, the royal library, on Ganghwa Island.

Under the agreement between Korea and France, France will loan the 297 books on a five-year basis to Korea, after which the loan will be automatically renewed continually. The agreement also stipulates that some Uigwe can be taken to France in 2015 and 2016 for an exhibition in France as a cultural exchange program between the two countries.

Korean government officials said the bilateral accord with France was historically fruitful, considering the value of the Uigwe and the nation’s decades-long negotiations to retrieve them amid the rising global tension over looted cultural artifacts.

Hello

Je relance le debat.
Y'a un argument que j'avais trouve interessant d'un gars contre la restitution (cf le lien ci dessous).
Lorsque les manuscrits ont ete vole, la Coree n'etait pas divisee en deux. Apres tout la Coree du Nord a autant le droit que la Coree du Sud de les reclamer. Du coup y'a pas de raison de les donner au Sud plus qu'au Nord.
